Re: iOS 18.1.1 and reminders.

 

I see what you mean with the reminders. I've never used them for anything with a date (I use OmniFocus for things like that), but I can imagine it's really annoying to see things little chores show up in the calendar (which typically gets used for appointments and blocking dates), what with the limited space to display a day's activities.

I'm never quite sure why software companies make big sweeping on/off changes without any preferences to shut them off. Of course, Apple has alway had in it's mind what is right for the user, even if it runs into their increasingly ignored interface guidlines.

While griping, lemme tell you why I don't use reminders more ... I started finding them useful once there were sublists. BUT ... while sublists work on my iPhone, they don't work in Ventura, which is the last macOS I can use (still on Intel). Whatever.

One good point with iOS 18: the app preferences are much less of a mess. I'm glad that Apple decided putting all apps in alphabetical order could be useful.

I recently upgraded my phone to iOS 18.1.1.

I also am a heavy user of Reminders.

One of the "non-improvements¡± apple added to this latest iOS is that reminders show up in the calendar. It is annoying as as annoying can be.

I called Apple and they said there is no way to turn that feature off. However the person I talked to created a ticket. Right now it is at level 3 and as people call in to complain about the issue they add those complaints to the ticket. As they add complainants to the ticket it will increase the ticket to level 2 and eventually (if enough people complain) it will reach level 1. If that happens the complaint goes to the engineers who hopefully will provide a fix.

So I am asking all my friends who have iOS 18 to call apple and complain. (Call even if you don¡¯t use reminders). If you do use reminders and like that the reminders show up in calendar then follow your heart.

If you do call then you will have my undying gratitude. Also please pass this on to all your Apple iPhone user friends and aquaintances.

Here is the number to call: 1 (800) 692-7753

Thanks to all of you who do this.
